Description
Thirteen-year-old Chloë left her whole life back in Montreal, including her mom and her best friend. Now she's stuck in Victoria with her dad and her estranged grandfather, Uli, who recently had a stroke. When Chloë agrees to help Uli look after his garden, she's determined to find out why he and her dad didn't speak to each other for years.
For decades Uli has collected seeds from people in the community, distinct varieties that have been handed down through generations. The result is a garden full of unusual and endangered produce, from pink broccoli to blue kale to purple potatoes.
But Chloë learns that the garden will soon be destroyed to make way for a new apartment complex. And the seed collection is missing! Chloë must somehow find a way to save her grandfather's legacy.

This book was a perfect middle grade novel. It had everything that I love about middle grade books. It was about family, friendship, believing in something, learning about your history, growing up. Chloe has moved with her dad and isn't thrilled about it. She is getting the chance to know her grandfather who introduces her to gardening and heirloom seeds. Watching the garden grow was the same as watching Chloe grow throughout the story. I really liked this and can't wait for others to read it as well.
